Our Story

Hull Kingston Radio is Hull's biggest community radio station, based at the Freedom Centre at the heart of the East Hull community. We launched on 107.4FM from the KC Lightstream Stadium at 09:00am on 6th February 2015 following a highly successful run of test transmissions. The first presenters on air were Pete Mills and Dave Nightingale. U2’s -‘Even Better Than The Real Thing’ (Perfecto Remix) was the first track played. We have continually since our launch engaged our communities and have given a voice to the voiceless, and championed a great number of social campaigns. We are always at the cutting edge of innovative ideas that will involve and engage with the community to bring a real flavour and fresh perspective of this area to the rest of the world.

There will always be opportunities for people to get involved and training will be available for people wanting to be part of our adventure in radio! We have had great success with our training scheme with a number of our volunteers going on to get paid professional work in the radio industry, either at the BBC or in commercial radio, or using the experience to get employment elsewhere. The station has on average between 12-14 hours a day of Live programming from it’s studios We have some great presenters on board, some of whom are already well known to the Hull airwaves, along with a handful of fresh new talent.
